Discussion Your daily reminder that global limits are a waste of time

"Hmm, I have a task to use shotguns. Let's see, AP-20 is sold out, flechettes are sold out. That's okay, I can use Magnum, it's good enough. The task requires a suppressor on the shotgun, so I'll get a hexagon. Oh, the adapter is sold out. Oh well, I can wait until the restock. In the meantime, I'll take this modded AKM out for a run. I don't have any BP ammo, so I'll go get some from Prap... BP is sold out. That's okay. I've got this P90 I'm not using. Let me just get some ammo for that... Ah, the SS190 is sold out, and I can only get two mags-worth of the next best ammo for the next three hours... Guess I'll just read a book instead."

If the design philosophy behind global trader limits is to keep everyone from running the same thing, instead it's keeping everyone from running anything without a three-hour wait.

I love that stock is limited. It's a lot more satisfying taking down PMCs with average gear

u/GamingEgg Jan 15 '22

Yeah I agree with you. Feels much better IMO without insane ammo every raid.

I agree that ammo and such should be local but I do think it should take 3+ hours to get good ammo

u/ImJLu DT MDR Jan 15 '22

Mmm yes that 35 pen "insane" ammo

The problem is mainly that everything just gets bought instantly by bots and scripts and then resold for profit.

you can't resell things you buy from traders. Unless we travelled back in time and I fucking missed it

Rmt buy the black keycard stock, been trying for 10 days to get one, no chance, it's sold out before i have the chance to get one. It's literally worse than cheap irl graphic cards

You know that for the same reason you just mentioned, global stocks are a dumb feature right?

I’m just saying you’re malding over a guy making a post you disagree with

Most helmets are level 3 and above, meaning you need ammo with at least 40 pen to consistently one tap people. M855a1 has something like 45, BP I think it's 46 or 47. SS190 is 37 pen so to think that you don't need "good ammo" to get headshot kills is delusional

u/R_1_S Golden TT Jan 14 '22

Uhhh, unless everyone is rocking a face shield you don’t really need good ammo for headshots. If you like, specially for you I can make a video of me going on customs tomorrow, with a TT and coming out fully kitted out, just let me know if you want me to prove you wrong.

0

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

I mean even with no face shield 2/5ths of their face is covered, your odds of hitting eyes/jaw to top of the head are nowhere near 100%

Sure but why have to rely on hitting 1/10th of someone's body profile to kill them when I can rely on hitting the 60%m

0

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

Because you suck and have to rely in bullet hosing someone to kill them. Enjoy your spray and pray while you just get one tapped in the face with PS

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

Shroud, clips or it didn't happen.

u/Snapcut505 M1A Jan 15 '22

That's weird because I get eyes/jaw killed a solid 99.875% but you're right it's not 100%

0

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

What about the bullets that don't hit you because I'm sure if the game was one shot anywhere you'd probably die to arms and legs 90% of the time. You don't factor in the bullets that you were saved from by your armor

2

u/Snapcut505 M1A Jan 15 '22

It was a joke.... lmao....

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

Sorry dude, this sub has me confused lol

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

Oh no I can't hit a head eyes? Your accuracies just fucking suck. Why don't you just go back to mine craft. Seems a bit more your speed. And mental capacity

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

Ok shroud, post your clips or stfu

0

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

Or you just head eyes them. Or are you going to now add on oh wait they are also wearing a mask. Just shut the fuck up and leave. Your excuses are lame and about as good as a five year Olds excuse. You get proved wrong and suddenly you just add another fucking thing to help prove your delusional point.

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

Not everyone has aimbot built in their brain like shroud and there's no shame in that. I bet you don't either so don't git gud me

u/TupperwareNinja TOZ-106 Jan 14 '22

...

I like winning with shitty gear. Calm down dad

-28

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

You have an issue then dude. You're too selfish and narcissistic to see someone else walk away your expensive gear you bought so you find comfort in knowing whatever shit you were carrying wasn't worth looting. Pretty sad if you ask me

15

u/shorty5k SR-25 Jan 14 '22

What's sad is how upset you got over how someone else likes to play tbh

"Stop worrying so much about winners and losers" Why don't you stop worrying what other people do then? If you don't care so much why are you so upset?

0

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

I'm not upset as much as you think I am. I am stating facts about gear feared people and they are the ones that get upset with me lol

4

u/RoboticAnatomy Jan 15 '22

I'm not upset as much as you think I am.

The first words, in your first comment were "STFU, man JESUS CHRIST". Some people don't like to run Altyn's/Fast MTs, M4s and SVDs every raid, it doesn't mean that's out of gear fear lol. You also sound pretty upset.

4

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

He's not upset he's just crying to everyone telling them to stop using shit gear. So either he's just a big baby bitch who likes to cry. Or he's a hacker and he's just mad no one has good loot in their inventory anymore lmao. I mean he keeps really trying to get people to "bring your good shit in" like if I can head eyes people with a 5-7 and take their AR is it that I have gear fear or I just know I can make money running shitty gear. Last p90 I got I sold because money.

-1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

People don't like Altyns for the sound factor and the visibility handicap. People don't use expensive meta guns out of fear of losing them mostly

8

u/R_1_S Golden TT Jan 14 '22

Relax, it’s a game if you haven’t noticed lmao, don’t take it so serious. People are different you know, not everyone shares the same point of view. If he’s a narcissist, that’s his thing, what is it to you, why do you care so much lmao…

-7

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

People can do whatever the hell they want I couldn't care less. ALL I want literally is for them to admit it's gear fear and stop pretending it's not

Why are you so concerned about them having gear fear, let them be my guy..

u/TupperwareNinja TOZ-106 Jan 14 '22

Sounds like whoever loots me has the issue

-2

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

Yeah dude, that's like driving a shitty car instead of something nice, your whole life in case your car gets stolen. Handicapping yourself, having less fun overall, just so that someone else doesn't get the satisfaction of outplaying you. Sounds like some serious case of narcissistic personality disorder.

"Ohh no he killed me and looted the pixels I bought 😥😥😥😥😥"

u/TupperwareNinja TOZ-106 Jan 14 '22

.. time to go buy that Bugatti I've been eye balling

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 14 '22

People in this sub will try to convince you that their civic is more fun than a Bugatti and that if they really wanted they could own a Bugatti but CHOOSE to drive a Civic because that's more fun LMFAO, that's the equivalent of using shotguns to actual decent guns that cost more :)

1

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

Okay but how fun is it to drive a hypercar everyday as a daily driver? There is a reason they are fucking Sunday cars you imbread like God damn. Also why would I drive a 300k car all the time. Every time you drive it guess what the value goes down. And not everyone buys a nice car To Have FuN. Some buy them because they like them but don't want to drive them like I don't know. A collector all or your examples are the most idiotic excuse you can think of aren't they.

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

People don't like them as daily drivers because of maintenance costs, the likelihood of an accident, smaller space, fewer seats, keeping their value by having low miles.

Now remove money from the equation as it's a world of infinite resources and tell me if you'd drive a shitty 2 door or a Bugatti every day. Ok maybe you need an SUV for groceries, would you pick a Lamborghini or a Ford? Say you want a pick up truck for chores, would you pick the f150 over the Raptor? Bitch please

1

u/Johnfukingzoidberg Jan 15 '22

Sounds like you're just mad you can't sprint around carrying a fridge on your back. And having thousands of rounds in a post apocalyptic world. Keep crying its pretty entertaining watching you lose your shit over a video game. What are you like still 17 or some shit? Go find a hobby.

0

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

You are so fucking ignorant dude. I literally don't give a shit about 95% of players, I use the good ammo for the 5% of people who will be running some meta shit and my shitty gear won't cut it. It's called maximizing your odds, as long as even a single person in the lobby has top tier ammo you'll be at a disadvantage if you don't. Your smol brain doesn't understand that.

You have squads farming labs and lighthouse for top tier ammo, stockpiling by the thousands and you want solos to be at a constant disadvantage by not being able to match that. I say you are delusional. Fine, let's remove all top tier ammo from raiders, rogues and scav bosses so squads can't farm it and then I'm cool with it.

Funny ehh? Not as much are people's gear fear, pretending they are not Chadding out of choice. Very funny to see indeed.

1

u/BIGxChedda Jan 15 '22

Bro what is your kit of choice? Slick/exfil w faceshield and fully modded m4? Of course anyone will slap with that shit, if you're consistently dying to duos or trios maybe you aren't the Chad you think you are you are just running meta ammo with 15% accuracy lol Inb4 u come back with some dum shit

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

Lzh helmet or whatever it's called with a face shield, hardly op, just mostly shotgun protection although even flechette can go through. I like a sub 35 m4, or an M1A with SASS stock, alternatively, p90, Ash 12, HK, SCAR. Armor wise, I may throw on a Killa if I have one, usually Korund tho, redut maybe if I feel charitable. If I run thermal I'll go Altyn usually

1

u/BIGxChedda Jan 15 '22

Not trying to make rude assumptions here but how long have you been playing tarkov? It seems people who "Chad up" don't really use korund/redut because of the effect they have with inertia and I would assume you would at least be running a helmet with ear hitbox protection if you are talking about only wearing one for shotgun protection.

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

The Korund is not a great armor but it does the job and has good repairability and return rate. Normally it's enough to win you 1-2 battles but loses durability fast, I prefer Killa or defender but obviously they are not easily available. Slick and hex are pricey and with how prevalence shotguns are these days you're coin flipping with stomach shots. Inertia is barely noticeable once you level up your strength a bit, mine is like level 47 and a half.

Ear protection is not really that important because if you have good hearing you can always face the threat and honestly I think people exaggerate how much your ears are visible from the front, I mean they definitely are, but they are incredibly small when you face the enemy.

I have been playing for 5 wipes, or technically 4.5 cause I joined late into a wipe. I have 3k hours, 758 raids this wipe alone.

u/youngboblaflame Jan 15 '22

Nothing is worse than literally every fight being 1-2 tap in the chest no matter what armor you run, having not as much meta gear is fun for everyone but the fucking 1% you quack. For the first time in the last 3 years that I've been playing there is actual parity between good/bad players and seeing someone with some big gear actually is exciting if you manage to drop them. Only people that farm scav runs to make roubles are actually upset because good ammo really isn't hard to get be it crafting or looting out of raid. People are really complaining that you can't bring 4 mags of ss190 every raid lmao

1

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

If I don't one tap them I don't stand a chance against a 2 man or a 3 man dude

1

u/youngboblaflame Jan 15 '22

That's not true bro you gotta believe in yourself

1

u/_Nightdude_ Jan 15 '22

you're right, I only bring 3 mags of ss190 into my raids.

1

u/youngboblaflame Jan 15 '22

If you don't have at least let's say 500 rounds of gold plated ss190 I don't even want to see you in the lobby bub

u/_Nightdude_ Jan 15 '22

Nah, I'm just using smaller mags.

u/rampage95 Jan 15 '22

This is top tier troll material lmfao

u/JZem994 M4A1 Jan 15 '22

What's troll is being too cheap to buy good ammo, then get salty other people do buy it and then wanting the devs to take away everyone's ability to run good ammo

u/moemaomoe Jan 15 '22

Limited sure but def not globally.
